| Whats on your turntable tonight? Yesterday was a listening adventure at Walker Audio listening to some enhancements Lloyd has made to his incredible Proscenium Turntable with his new Black Diamond ceramic tonearm. Among the many LPs we listened to were:Stravinsky: Petrouchka, Osc... | |
| Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking? The Walker Audio Proscenium Turntable has been a journey's end for me. Just a superb component that allows one to hear every nuance of what's been encoding on the vinyl. Complete ease of set-up and rock solid reliability. No turntable and arm comb... | |

| Little red gun next to turntable. As Jlind325is suggests, you're probably seeing a Zerostat which is used to dissipate the static electric charge that accumulates on your vinyl. I've used one for 20+ years and it still works well. Probably a more important accessory for your vinyl... | |
| Stylus For Gauge - Do I really need one? You can always use a $25 Shure gauge like I do. You need to fine tune your tracking force and VTA by ear, anyway. If you're not constantly changing cartridges or arm wands, just use the Shure to make sure you're not accidentally way over the manuf... | |
| Impact of Walker Audio Extreme SST Joncourage, I'm not an electrical engineer either, but I hear the sonic improvements. My understanding of the situation is that in any interface of materials (same or not) there will be some resistance that will create some amount of interference ... | |
| Can I clean my records manually? Pawlowski6132, for 20 years I used a home-brew formula (that I'll detail below), but I've found that both the Disc Doctor Miracle Record Cleaner and Paul Fumpkin's Audio Intelligent are vastly superior cleaning fluids that are well worth their cos... | |
| Re Miles Davis vinyl Psc,The 45 rpm vinyl reissues of the Miles Davis recordings that have been coming from Acoustic Sounds are very good, as are the several 33 rpm reissues from Classic Records. The 45 rpm reissues have all the additional sonic virtues one would expe... | |
| Aesthetix Callisto owners help please I own the Aesthetix Io with volume controls and not the Callisto. My experience with the Io is that the stock tubes give superb results, as our local audio group would attest, and I expect the same will be true of the Callisto. You would have an o... | |
| Have you seen the VR9SE Review? Mike, thank you for sharing all of your experiences with the VR-9s. You invested a huge amount of effort in sharing your experiences with us, and I really enjoyed reading your article. As always, I found your comments thoughtful and very well arti... | |
| Where are the full-function preamps? Add Atma-Sphere, Aesthetix, and Rogue Audio to the list of manufacturers offering full function preamps with phono. I'm sure there are still others we've not yet named.. | |
| set vs otl, which is the most musical Boa2, in response to your question, amps designed for Class A operation all run hot, whether OTL or not, whether tube or solid state. It's the Class A operation, not the fact that they are OTLs, that results in the heat. The best of the OTL amps (... | |
| When showing your system to others, what do you do Jlind325is, as others have mentioned, I simply ask what kind of music a guest likes and then try to play something they enjoy and are familiar with. If they like what they're hearing, we keep exploring other music they like, if I have it. I've fou... | |
| Stylus Force Guages - why extreme accuracy? Nice reply, Doug. I think you captured it well.Regards, |
